Parent Council AGM Tues 12 September 2023

The Parent Council AGM is in the school staffroom on Tues 12 September. Refreshments are available from 5.45, with the meeting from 6 to 7.30. We’ll hear from the headteacher & Senior Leadership Team, updates from the Chair and subgroups, and elections for the committee. Come and say hello, and bring other parents!

Broughton HS Association meeting – Weds 7th June, 7.30pm

Broughton High School Association meeting – 7.30pm on Wednesday 7th June. Please note the change of day! We meet in-person at The Place (Rugby Club cafe on Raeburn Place, just round the corner from the school).

We will be discussing the chess cafes later in June and ideas for future fundraising.

BHSA events and initiatives have benefited every single pupil at Broughton, from paying for S1 school ties to essential Modern Languages equipment, the school garden, support for sports teams and much more.

Our meetings are friendly and informal and we would love to see some new faces there! We are keen to get parents from S1-S4 involved in running our events and coming up with new ideas.

Parent Council meeting Mon 29th May in school garden

Our last PC meeting of the school year will be held in the beautiful school garden (weather permitting – we’ll be in the staff room if it rains!). All parents/carers are welcome to join us to hear updates from the school Senior Leadership Team and from the various PC subgroups.

We will have teas/coffees available and opportunities to chat from 5.30pm and the meeting will start at 6pm.

You will find the garden at the Fettes Avenue (Waitrose) side of the school grounds. Come past the bike sheds and basketball court to the side of the school.

All parents and carers of young people at Broughton High are welcome to attend. We would love to see you – everyone on the Parent Council brings something different and unique and we always welcome new voices who share our passion for the school, our young people, and the community that we are at the heart of.

Our current clerk and treasurer/comms lead will be leaving the committee after this meeting so we are seeking new committee members!
